Wright said he had prepared a trap for the raccoon, but instead they both ended up napping. Sometimes, you got to know when to retreat, y&#8217;all.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><strong>Around 3 p.m. on Monday, Wright updated his followers, saying that the two had &#8221; reached a tactical impasse&#8221; and there were hopes the raccoon would mosey his way into one of the set traps for food on his own. As you might guess, that is not what happened.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><strong>At 6:15 p.m., Wright shared another post, saying he had decided to take action and catch the little guy. Unfortunately, he wasn&#8217;t fast enough and the raccoon scurried up a curtain where he proceeded to taunt the judge.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><strong>Alas, the judge realized what he needed to do to finally capture the beast. When you&#8217;re dealing with a Texas raccoon, you got to use Texas bait. So, naturally, he loaded the traps with queso and tamales.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><strong>After a nearly 20-hour stand-off, Judge Wright shared his final update to inform everyone the raccoon had fell for it, saying &#8220;authorities have captured Rosebud&#8217;s Most Wanted. He will serve 20 &#8211; 30 (minutes) then be released with conditions not to enter illegally again.&#8221;<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><strong>I guess if you&#8217;re going to get caught anyway, might as well do it with a belly full of queso and tamales.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>You have to admit, the raccoon looks comfortable!<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.rightwinggranny.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/raccoon.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone  wp-image-39675\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rightwinggranny.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/raccoon-300x172.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"482\" height=\"284\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"content-container\" style=\"padding-left: 40px;\">\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\">\n<\/div>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\">\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This article is from September 2019.
